THE HOST IS STONED.

[filipinalover13]

@xcombine arnt we all

@Anothercoilgun Probably wire maintenance charge from their power company or some bs like that. You still have to pay for the hookup even if you don't use the service, right?

Can someone please explain to me why some people get so damn offensive and mean-spirited on YouTube? What is the fucking problem? Why can't some folks just enjoy the video or not and leave? Why attack the videographer? This isn't porn. This video wasn't made to get you off. If you want to be pandered to, rent a porno.

I think that Justin made some notably intelligent and relevant points and explanations - while the host seemed distracted in moments and...superficial in her presence/presentation? We humans could (and do) find something to be critical of about every other human. This family (and if one watches a number of the different videos about them - a lot of useful information is presented) is living in a noteworthy and admirable manner. How many of us could be inspired (as I am) by their example??

@amberstorck Name plate capacity is the amount of electricity generated in full sun. Some days are good, some days are bad, but there is an average on the NREL website: If there were 6 hours of sun this system would produce the 11.88 kW/h you need to add the unit of time to make it of any use. the way electricity use is described in these comments is like how saying how much gas you put in your car by describing the nozzle size!

[Timothy2035]

in the video description, why would anyone limit toilet flushing and baths/showers? That is great that utility bill is only 15 dollars a month though for them. Strange to hear someone's utility bill went higher after making the switch. I wonder why?...

@Sharoney- So you have no family drama? You don't have your own religious/spiritual beliefs- which you are free to believe? You don't have people in your family who have philosophical differences on how to live life? Everyone in your family has successful relationships-there is no divorce? You don't believe in the right to start a home business and have a website? Don't try to discredit what this amazing family is doing for the planet...I think you are a mean person for claiming these things.

[Sharoney]

The family have a website with lots of pretty pictures but they tell you NOTHING about how they do something except in the vaguest possible terms. They want you to pay for that information (or donate to their "institute").

The father is a former member of a evangelical church who left because they weren't strict enough for him. His wife left him; another son who decided to have a life has been basically disowned, all references wiped from their website. The girls almost never leave the house.
